Luanda (Angola)

Despite the tumultuous past and jarring contrasts of Luanda, Angola's capital is something of a wild paradise awaiting discovery and is easily accessible with SAA flights to Luanda.

Backpackers with a keen sense of adventure can cruise its coastline, an attraction infinite in length and beauty. There are hidden pockets of wildlife to keep nature-lovers immersed in the unkempt beauty and temperate climate of a previously unfamiliar destination that now stands proudly amongst the more celebrated ones.

There are many tourist attractions in Angola's capital. So book your flight to Luanda and be charmed by the various game parks, historical structures, monuments & markets.

Kissama Game Park

Make your way across the Kwansa River bridge and visit this stunning game park, which is situated 70km (43.5 miles) south of Luanda. The Operation Noah's Ark programme is currently restoring the wildlife in this beautiful reserve, so take an exciting safari drive with one of the experienced and friendly forest rangers. Kissama (also spelt Quiçama) has accommodation facilities available.

Ilha do Mussulo

Mussulo island lies just a few kilometres off the coast of Angola. Catch a boat from Luanda and experience this laid-back and charming island resort, where you can relax on a sunbed and enjoy the beautiful beach setting.

Fortaleza

High above the city of Luanda towers the gleaming white fort of Fortaleza. Built by the Portuguese in the 17th Century, it used to serve as a vantage and defence point against potential invaders, and was turned into a museum after independence. Visit this impressive structure and see the panoramic views of the Marginal, the Ilha do Mussulo and the Presidential Palace.

The Marginal

Lined with palm trees, this seaside promenade offers a stunning view of Luanda bay and the Ilha further out to sea. You can also visit the Port of Luanda building with its tall clocktower and the famous pink Banco de Angola, which is lit up by floodlights at night. A walk along the Marginal is most pleasant during the cooler months of July and August.

Many of the events in Angola's capital centre around one of the nation's most favourite pastime – music! So if you're bringing musical instruments on your holiday, or plan on buying some in Luanda, please check our section on baggage tips and restrictions.

Luanda International Jazz Festival

The LIJF is a truly authentic musical feast for lovers of jazz and good music, and has been taking place annually since 2009. The three-day festival usually takes place during the cooler winter months, and pays homage to Afro-Jazz, music of Angolan origin, world music and house music. If you are a lover of all things jazzy, the Luanda International Jazz Festival should not be missed! So book your flight to Luanda for this rare musical treat.

Live Music

If you are in Luanda over a period when the Jazz Festival is not taking place, don't despair – this capital city doesn't have a shortage of music venues. In fact, Luanda offers live music for all tastes, on virtually every day of the week. So if the idea of sipping an ice cold caipirinha while listening to the smooth sounds of live semba appeals to you, make sure to visit venues like Cine Atlântico, Chá de Caxinde, Miami Beach, Elinga Teatro or Espaço Bahia.

Luanda is the perfect place to indulge your love of seafood and all things Portuguese, but this bustling city also offers a variety of other cuisines.

Restaurante Bordão

The Bordão is a pleasant beach bar located on the Ilha du Mussulo, and – while its ambiance may be more redolent of Miami than Luanda – it is a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon and feast on quality grilled fish.

Kimbo

Just off the Marginal, Kimbo is great for mid-morning coffee or a buffet-style lunch. Take note that the buffet is not self-service, so you have to be really sure what you want when you place your order – and with such a vast variety of fish, meat, chicken and vegetable dishes to choose from, you are almost spoiled for choice. Your plate gets weighed and you pay accordingly. Be sure to arrive early to avoid the lunch time rush!

Manjara

Also situated on the Ilha, this green building can be easily spotted from the road. Don't let the slightly worn-down exterior fool you – Manjara restaurant offers its patrons two dining areas (one indoors and the other open air), live music on Fridays and Saturdays, generous portions, and a vast variety of traditional Portuguese dishes, such as grilled Garoupinha (Grouper), Bacalhau com Natas (Cod with cream) and Bife a Portuguesa (Portuguese steak).

Portofino

Situated on the Marginal, Portofino is a chic upmarket restaurant located on the third floor of the Deana Day Spa. Open every day from 12pm until midnight, Portofino not only offers delightful European cuisine (apparently their Risotto is the best in Luanda) but also has free wi-fi, relaxing lounge music in the background, and a beautiful view of the Marginal.

Alvalade 61

If you're in the mood for a good steak, Alvalade 61 is the place to go. This bar and grill, which opened its doors in June 2010, is situated in a basement about 15m away from the Hotel Alvalade, and offers patrons an intimate and cozy atmosphere. Choose from a variety of traditional Portuguese dishes, or just order a steak grilled to perfection.

Transport in Luanda includes car rental based at the Luanda airport for after your flights. If you are not familiar with the city, it's probably more advisable to also hire a driver, for hassle free transport.
